For those Americans struggling to find a job, this massive tax
increase will not make it any easier. Sadly, Liberals in Washington and
political commentators are already salivating over the idea of
additional taxes. They cannot stand the idea of a federal
government that lives within its means.

The coming tax increases will be devastating. Every American that
pays taxes will see their rate go up. The small business tax rate will
grow to nearly 40 percent. The alternative minimum tax [AMT] will grow from 4 million to 31
million victims. The death tax will take half of what
many Americans leave behind when they die. The capital gains rate will
rise from 15 to 24 percent, and the top dividend rate will rise from 15
to 45 percent. The marriage penalty will return, and the child tax
credit will be cut in half. Obamacare will impose
20 new or higher taxes on families and small employers, including a new
tax on medical devices like braces and pacemakers.

As you approach election season, it is vitally important that you ask
candidates and elected officials about the coming Taxmageddon: do they
support raising taxes on millions of Americans or will they fight for
lower taxes and less government spending?

You have the right to know where your elected officials and
candidates for office stand on important issues. One of the best ways to
know where a candidate stands on taxes is the Taxpayer Protection
Pledge. Currently, 238 members of the U.S. House of Representatives
and 41 U.S. Senators have taken the Pledge, which is a written
commitment to oppose net tax hikes. In addition, there are over 247
candidates running for Congress that have made that same commitment.

President Obama has promised to let the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts
expire. If this happens, the only way to immediately reverse Taxmageddon
in 2013 is to elect officials who promise to oppose higher taxes.
Candidates who sign
the Taxpayer Protection Pledge have made that promise to taxpayers.

Elected officials will only focus on reining in Washington’s
irresponsible spending binge when tax hikes are taken off the table. The
first step in that process is making sure they promise to hold the line
on taxes.

Recall that about half(!) of the people in the United States pay no income taxes. They, and select companies favored by the government, are the ones getting your hard-earned money.

Oh. I almost forgot. Government-administered health insurance -- sometimes referred to as "free" health insurance by those who wish to deceive -- will become much more costly to you or your employer, and even if you don't want to buy it or don't need it, you will soon pay a penalty of more than $2000 a year.

Get ready to be poorer...or vote the liberal bums out of office in November who tax us and spend our hard-earned money recklessly.

If we get rid of these spendthrift politicians, we will be free to spend our money the way we want to -- and continue to enjoy riding that bike if we choose to! .
